Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

What’s something you thought everyone did growing up, but later realized was just your family? (sopuli.xyz)

Same. I have a weird box hoarding problem now. I keep all the original boxes for stuff because when I move, it's best to put the stuff back in the original box. I haven't moved in almost 20 years, but I still have the boxes. Also, I need to keep all those "good sized" boxes for stuff that I've ordered. My spouse will look at me weird when I pick up a box and say, "this is a good box; we should keep it."

For me its the opposite, I don't really care for material stuff, we didnt own alot of things growing up and we lost most of them when moving around so i don't really buy stuff outside of note-books and stationary(which i was obsessed with). With two exceptions, we never stayed in house for more than two years, sometimes not even the same country.This is also why i have a hard time archiving stuff like videos,movies, and songs. we didnt own tapes or records just watched TV growing, so i never felt the motivation to archive stuff even today's late stage capitalism streaming services.

Working in IT is great; the boxes brand new computers come in are fantastic quality! Nobody cares if you take them either! The divider parts are also good for like, shelf/pantry organization.
